Tekscan FlexiForce Prototyping Kit FLXPK1 - USB Interface, 0-5V Analog Output
The Tekscan FlexiForce Prototyping Kit (FLXPK1) is a modular development platform designed for engineers to rapidly integrate and test FlexiForce thin-film force sensors into proof-of-concept designs and prototypes. It features a USB interface for data acquisition and provides configurable 0-5V analog and up to 10-bit digital outputs, compatible with common microcontrollers and DAQ systems.
Features
- Modular prototyping platform for FlexiForce thin-film force sensor integration and testing.
- Provides configurable 0-5V analog output and up to 10-bit digital resolution.
- USB communication interface for direct data logging and sensor control via PC software.
- Onboard jumpers and swappable components for easy sensitivity and circuit tuning.
- Compact form factor (66mm x 38mm) for integration into early-stage prototypes and benchtop setups.

The FLXPK1 kit serves as an intermediary development tool, bridging the gap between a standalone FlexiForce sensor element and a final embedded system. It contains the necessary signal conditioning circuitry to convert the sensor’s variable resistance into a stable, readable voltage signal. The open-source software suite enables real-time data visualization, sensitivity adjustment via reference voltage selection, and calibration routines to characterize sensor performance under specific loading conditions.
Engineered for a -10°C to 55°C operating range, this kit is suited for laboratory and controlled environment prototyping. Its modular design allows engineers to experiment with different resistor and capacitor values in the conditioning circuit, optimizing the response for specific force ranges and actuator materials before committing to a custom PCB design.
